UNMATCHABLE ao UNBEATABLE Prettier, Snappier, Brighter Than Ever. THE NEW TRUE BLUE SERGE For Men’s Spring and Summer Wear. CORRECT FORM. Good dressers have adain adopted the Serde as the correct fabric for springd and summer wear. Of course, the way we tailor our Serges, the way we build ’em, leaves no loophole, no good point unscored,no little point of vantagewhich may figure in your favor, neglected. The difference between the Serde of the spring and summer, 1900, and that of the past season is thatthe shadeisa bit dif- ferent, but the fabric is the same. Can’thave any better, but we have added and bettered and changed it here and there so that the Serde of this season is @ far prettier garment than that of the past. We know no way of serving yow so well than by the recommendation of a Serge, as it carries with it good form and correct dressing. The Sack Coats are cut entirely different from the past season. We think the Double- Breasted Sack is a prettier sarment than that of the past. There’s so many new kinks which we have added to this garment that de- seription fails us. The Single-Breasted Sack of the True Blue Serde has also received some clever treatment at our hands. The edges are handled differently ; the lapels aredifferent. The entire garment looks vastly different, which we think, for. the better. Of course, the T'rue Blue Serde is a higher priced sarment this season than it was last—that is, it cost ws more—but the popwlafity which the True Blue Serde has diven our howse has warranted ws in placing it before you again at the same price.

NOVELS CAUSED HIM 0 LEAVE h HAPPY HOME Frank Adams, a Mere Child, Beats His Way From Pit{sburg. —— Mayor Will Place Him in Boys’ and Girls’ Aid Society and Inform His Parents of His ‘Whereabouts. ST Frank Adams, a boy 14 years of age, visited the Mayor's office yesterday and made a pitiful appeal to Secretary Fay tu be returned to his home in Pittsburg, Pa. He stated that he had run away from his parents’ home on October 6 of last year, and reached this eity day before yester- day by beating his way on cabooses of freight trains, The boy ascribes his sad plight of belng alone and penniless in a strange city to his inordinate love for reading dime nov- els. He says his father is Odcar E. Adams, a compositor on the Pittsburg Chronicle- Telegraph, residing at 2407 Wylle avenue. The Mayor decided to send Frank to the Boys’ and Girls' Aid Society, and in the meantime the boy’s parents will be com- municated with with a view to sending him back home. “I left home last October,” young runaway, ‘‘with $10, mother gave me to_buy. a suit of clothes, I read so many_dime novels that I had an {dea that San Francisco was a mining camp and that gold could be picked up on Goat Island. The men In the cabooses were good to me and 1 went to Chicago. From there I rcde on the tender of the fast mail to Omaha. The engineer made sald the | me help passing the coal and do other work for my passage. “I came on from there in Union Pacific and Southern Pacific cabooses. I was never put off the trains, because I told the train men that I wanted to get to San Francisco to join the navy. I stopped off | at a few cities and worked in hotels, and that is why It took me over five months to make the trip. I would like to get back home, but I am afraid I could not beat my way. I wrote to my folks when I was in Truckee, but as yet have received no answer.” Native Sons in Burnt Cork.

SUICIOE OF SAV BERWI, A OUNG BUSINESS AGENT His Decomposed Body Found Floating in the Bay Near Goat Island. —— Had Been Despondent a Long While Because of Financial Straits and Killed Himself by Jump- ing in the Bay. Sellioal The badly decomposed remains of Sam- uel Berwin were found floating in the bay near Goat Island yesterday morning by Clgt&ln ‘Wilson of the launch Amy. The body was taken to the Morgue and the identity of the dead man was disclosed by letters and account books found in the pockets of his garments. Mr. Berwin was agent on this coast for Boese, Pepperd & Co. of 532-53¢ Broadway, New York City, manufacturers of lace irimmings, etc. His brother, Robert Berwin, is a member of the firm of P. Berwin and Bro., 18 and 20 Sutter street, this cl?fsy‘ The deceased was 35 years old and a na- tive of this city. He was last seen_alive by his brother on Monday, March 5. At that time he said he was going to take the boat for Vallejo. He had been despondent for a long time because of the non-receipt of a check that he expected from his em- ployers, he belni in straitened financial condition and owing even for his room in e Grand Hotel, as was learned from a bill for $90 room rent found in his pockets. For these reasons it is belleved he com- mitted sulcide by jumping overboard. Only 35 cents was found on his person. Among his effects was a letter from his employers asking what was the matter with him that he had not written oftener and suggesting that his efforts were not satisfactory to the firm and that they thought he was not devoting sufficient time or attention to the business. All suspicions of foul &ay ‘were silenced by the autopsy of Dr. Leland, who found that drowning was the cause of death. — Men to the Front.
